Danton Wants To Be Released

Former Blues hockey player Mike Danton is asking to be released from jail, according to a report from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. According to the article, Danton doesn’t believe that the plea agreement entered last year is being upheld by the Justice Department. Danton admitted to a plot to have his agent killed and received a seven-and-a-half jail sentence. A part of the deal included a request to be transferred to his native Canada, where he would serve the bulk of the sentence. He remains jailed in New Jersey. Danton believes the Justice Department isn’t acting quick enough to fulfill that request.
